The Runner and Number 30 (Charlie Curnow)

Chapter 30

Monique's Pov 

the girls and I got comfortable on the couch, gathered some snacks, and started watching the game, "is it weird not being there?" Amy asked "Kind of, the experience is different" I answered "How does it feel knowing that Charlie is your boyfriend and you are watching him on TV?" Jenny asked "it's a weird feeling, almost surreal," I said "that's fair enough". the game started and we began snacking and cheering on the team, it's been a while since we've done this. 

I was more anxious sitting at home watching than actually being out there watching, everytime the ball went near charlie I was on the edge of my seat, I squinted every time someone took him out, I held my breath every time he took a mark, and was going or goal. about 5 Minutes in Charlie was given a free kick and was going for goal, I was so anxious, unfortunately, he missed, and St Kilda got the ball back. with about 4 minutes left, he was given another free kick for a push in the back, and again i was on the edge of my seat, he nailed that one and i jumped up and down like crazy. the first quarter was over and the score was 22-20 we were up by 2. 

in the second quarter about 6 minutes in, Charlie caught a mark while he was being held back by the other player and was given the free kick, it was a rough shot on an angle and he got it, I jumped up and down again, he was going really well. a minute later charlie got another mark, outside 50, and he made that goal as well, he was playing really well. the rest of the quarter was quite back and forth and at half time the score was 43- 39 we were winning.

the third quarter was pretty quiet for charlie, but st kilda came back and were now ahead 52-73.  and the fourth quarter was about the same, there wasnt much happening. we ended up losing 60-82. i knew the boys would be disapointed but i wouldn't be able to talk to them for at least an hour after the game. 

we finished our snack and the girls and i spoke about their lives for once instead of it revolving around me. the girls stayed for another couple of hours, until there was a knock at my door, i got up and went over and looked through my peephole, it was Charlie, i opened the door "what are you doing here?" i asked "im staying here until this girl is gone, i dont want anything happening to you" he said "you dont have to do that charlie, she said she didnt want to hurt me, so ill be okay" i said "so you dont want me to stay here?" he asked "i do but, i dont want you to feel like you have to" i said "i want to Mon" he smiled as he walked in the door and put all his stuff down, and took reggie off his leash. we walked into the living room "oh my god he's back" Jenny said "yes i'm back" Charlie laughed "i think thats our cue to go Jen" Amy said getting up "thank you guys for today" i smiled "no worries, dont forget to tell charlie about you obsessing over him" Jenny laughed as her and amy left the house. i ignored the comment and hoped that Charlie would too. "so? obsessing over me huh?" he asked sitting down next to me "i wasnt obsessing, they were just talking about how i was worried about you whenever you went up for a make or anything, i was more anxious watching you on Tv than i am sitting on the sidelines." i laughed "well thats a bit cute" he said "i missed you out there" he added "im sure it wasnt that bad" i said "i dont know the while vibe was off" he said "well i missed being there too" i said "good" he said smiling "i love you" i said "i love you too" he replied. 

we had some dinner and then i was ready for bed, Charlie began setting himself up on the couch "what are you doing?" i asked him "getting ready for bed" he said "not here youre not, come on, dont be silly" i said "im not" he said, i rolled my eyes and walked over to him, i grabbed his and and walked him up the stairs to my bedroom "you can sleep in here with me" i said "are you sure?" he asked "charlie, we are dating its not like youre some stranger to me" i laughed "i know that but i didnt want you to feel uncomfortable" he said "youd never make me feel uncomfortable" i said. we both began getting ready for bed, i was getting undressed and putting my pajamas on, i clearly wasnt thinking straight, or totally forgot that charlie was in my room, cause it did it all with him standing there. after i finished i turned around and realised and went bright red "sorry" i said "oh dont be" he smirked as he got into bed himself, im never going to get sick of seeing him shirtless. 

we laid in bed together both just going through our phones, "i like this" i said "like what?" he asked "being here with you, i like it" i said "me too" he added "so do you reckon the police will get involved?" i asked him "they better, otherwise ill be doing something myself" he said "we need to be careful, if it gets publisized then the club will get involved and thats what brian doesnt want" i said "i know i know" he said running his hands through his hair, i grabbed him hands, "hey, its okay, we will work this out" i said to him "why are you always so optimistic?" he asked "i dont know, becuase im with you? and i know that we can do this together" i said, "i love you" he said "i love you too" i smiled and kissed him on the lips "goodnight Charlie" i said turning the light off "goodnight Mon" he smiled and laid down as well.
